But you wrote that your radio have the earth/chassis.

The point that you are missing is that the earth connection has
NOTHING
to do with transmitting or receiving a signal. If is merely there for
safety in the event of a lightening strike or build up or static.


So the radio have the earth/chassis.

Ian's equipment will work no differently is the earth connection is
disconnected. Marconi was WRONG!!!!


And what about your equipment?
Is the earth connection disconnected?

I have no earth connection, so it cannot be connected or disconnected.

Looks like you are either a troll or being deliberately dense. Reminds me
of the mechanical engineer guy on the group a while back who was making
fantastic claims for miniscule antennas.

At any rate:
